If you’ve seen this popular cartoon "Cat Shit One"
you must remember the M14EBR that Botasky uses
This fancy M14EBR with full accessories, which is being argued by Packy for a long time
In fact, this cool “Christmas Tree” is actually an old man who was originally designed in WWII, based on M1 Garand (United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1)
Due to its decent accuracy on semi-auto, M14 develops a lot of variants
From designated marksman rifle to sniper rifle, this old man comes into a new battle
As you already know
BingFeng is always interested in some unexpected gel blaster replicas
This M14EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle) which actively served in the U.S. army
had already been noticed by BingFeng last year
In the early of this year, BingFeng had released a few samples of this gun replica
But only little reflections from the market, and there were also some quality problems
Last week, BingFeng sent me an M14EBR which says it has been improved in various dimensions
Also, I am curious about what kind of new tricks could BingFeng play on their new products which made by two plastic pieces
Play Gels~
As you can easily see from the box, M14EBR is really huge
at least it is much bigger than the AR series
Inside the box, the gun itself, magazine, and a foldable bipod, as well as, as well as a ChengHai special goggle
The same type of bipod as BingBao partly metal made, easy to assemble
You can replace the orange flash hider with the black one that given by the manufacture
Most parts of this replica are made by nylon
The outer appearance of M14EBR is basically simulated
especially its classic EBR chassis system and Picatinny rails
which make this WWII veteran come into modern
89cm in length when the stock retracted, and 107cm in length when it fully extended
the size ratio is good
Whole weight 2.3kg, which means the manufacture gives it a nice quantity
Due to the aluminum handguard is used on the real gun and the long barrel makes M14EBR’s barycenter go to the front
However, this problem doesn’t exist on this replica because it’s basically made by nylon, so the barycenter is fine
On the receiver, there is an inscription of Sage International Ltd.
The sunken inscription is nice with the sandblasted texture
but under the inscription. those round holes for heat dissipation are suck
The unpolished edges make an abnormal shape
The selector switch is connected with the electric button very easy to switch
The charging handle doesn’t link to the bolt, and could only charge 40mm back
The seal on the receiver cover just copies the logo “G&G” from Taiwan
Seems like BingFeng is too lazy to create a new logo
The rear sight isn’t adjustable, and the rotary is just a decoration
The upper receiver is made in one part, you can’t open the bolt, and it is not functional
If I say the one-part upper receiver is still not bad
then the lower receiver is really not good
The gap between the two pieces isn’t as crazy as before
but the edge of the mag catch is horrible, and the lacquer is also screwed up
The safety is in front of the trigger, but it is still a nonfunctional decoration
The grip made in two pieces is used for battery storage assembled by 4 allen screws
Open the cover on the butt to put the battery in
Space is quite limited, you can only place a small cuboid battery
The magazine is made by two pieces of nylon
Loading entrance is at the back, looks like it can’t load too many gels
It says the mag catch locking has been upgraded, so the mag can be firmly stuck in
The chassis stock of M14EBR is designed by Sage International Ltd.
The cheek plate is adjustable
but this replica from BingFeng, its cheek plate cannot be locked
Two retractable rods are strong and it can be adjusted in 6 positions
There is a rail on the top, and also a metal sling mount
The butt plate is made by rubber, glued on the stock
Very interesting, the handguard is like the receiver which made in three separated pieces
one piece of the upper handguard and two pieces of lower handguards
The durability is still fine for its huge size
Besides the top rail, there are three extra rails on both sides and the bottom
Botasky will be happy with it
There is a removable handguard cover on the lower receiver
Rubber lacquer on the surface, feels good in hands
Remove the cover, you can see the classic pink aluminum inner barrel
but sadly, the outer barrel is still made in two nylon pieces assembled by three screws on the right
The gas tube holder and the front sight are not separated
The flash hider can be directly pulled in, no thread on it
There is a rubber ring between the inner and the outer barrel, which is used to stabilize the inner barrel
But it’s not good for assembling a hop-up, some adjustments may be needed for it
Although this blaster is made in separated pieces
most of the screws are built into the receiver
so it’s not awkward in its outer appearance
But as BingFeng had always done, the details of the gun aren’t good enough
Some missing functional parts and the poor lacquer, make a cheap sense of this blaster
Due to the huge nylon part, it’s hardness may not be perfect
it's a little bit soft
and the shape between the receiver and the handguard might be changed by high pressure
Because of the same gearbox version as P90
This M14EBR doesn’t apply to semi-auto
so the selector switch is actually a safety, switch from safety to full auto
This little change solves the huge recoil force problem of 7.62NATO when shooting in full auto
I highly recommend this BingFeng’s design to Sage International
Charge the charging handle to turn on the pre-loading button
As usual, using the DD white gels, the velocity is around 60~65m/s
which is definitely under the national legitimate red line
After disassembly I notice, the blaster can be separated into five parts
The grip and the stock; the upper receiver and the upper handguard; lower receiver and the lower handguard made in two nylon pieces
Internal is clear, pre-loading, safety, and the trigger are operated by three tiny button
The shell of the gearbox is black nylon
100% cylinder, bearing on the motor, and the cover of the other two gears
Disassemble the spring guide, there is a 1.1 spring inside
so conservative
Replace it with a 1.2 spring, the velocity goes over 80m/s easily
which means this gearbox is able to upgrade
In 2020, the separated structure becomes standardized
This M14EBR may not apply to someone who really cares about the detailed design
But compare to the products from BingFeng before, there are still some improvements on this M14EBR
However, in order to reach the perfect
BingFeng still has a lot of works to do
Even so, I want to quote a comment from a fan of gel blaster:
“The gel blaster market will be boring if BingFeng does not exist,
other manufactures who only pursue AR or AK will never notice there are thousands of different guns in the world”
On the other hand
M14EBR as a classic gun type
if you want to simulate most of the details and internal functions
it can’t be a matter of 398RMB (not more than 60USD)
And there is no way to find M14EBR other than BingFeng
So if you really like M14EBR, BingFeng is not a horrible choice for remembrance
The result of the last video lottery of DD white gels has been released
This week let’s give more strength
Comment your suggestions or opinions to BingFeng
next Friday let’s draw a new lottery of this blaster (Comment in AcFun only)
